Thanks so much for visiting!
Stephanie is an artist and entrepreneur who grew up on a family farm in Massachusetts. A 2007 graduate of Manhattanville College, Stephanie studied writing, sociology and theater. In the years since, she has launched a number of pet projects and small businesses, including: FrankenStuffs– one of a kind, handmade plush animals made from recycled toys, the Queer Expression Fairs in Brooklyn, featured in TimeOut and Go Magazine, Beacon Santas, a charity founded during Covid which connected over 400 local families in need with local “Santas”, and the the hugely popular Beacon Doggy Daycare.
On the side, in addition to managing all of the Hudson Valley Housing groups on Facebook, Stephanie founded and runs Forever Home Foster House with her partner, a non-profit focused on stray cats and kittens, providing TNVR services, and saving animals from outdoor life by placing them in loving homes.
Stephanie moved to Beacon with no job and no place to live, with a mattress strapped to her Saturn sedan and an aging pitbull, just two weeks after visiting for the first time in 2014, and has never looked back. Beacon offered everything she needed to restore and reinvigorate her life, brick by brick. Now, having purchased her dream house on the banks of the Wallkill River (and adopting just a handful more dogs..), she is thrilled to be able to help others make their homes in the Hudson Valley, where she has found so much happiness and success.
Stephanie is resourceful, practical, and an old school creative pioneer. She is honest, communicative, and all around a pretty fun and “no bullshit” kind of girl. She takes what she does seriously, without taking herself too seriously (aka, we’re going to have a great time finding your home! 🙂 ).
For Steph, safe and reliable housing is personal, so she feels both lucky and blessed to be able to knowledgeably and skillfully advocate for her clients, who become her friends. She’s your team captain, she’s in your corner, and she is here for you, every step.
